Paris, Doll Making Industry

The making of dolls is one Of the prin.
cipal industries of Paris, the masterpiece
of the trade being q marvellous creature
consisting entirely Of paper, with por-
celain head. This belongs to quito new
race of dolls, which has driven the old
ones out of the Partisan market.
In making them a fine paper pulp is
used, and the doll is nodded bit by bit.
One workman does nothing but shape the
arms, another has charge of the feet, and
so on with the entire body. Elastic bands
are inserted in the arms and legs to hold
them together, and the joints are made to
work SO perfectly that limb will remain
In any position in which it is placed. z,Ef
The porcelain head is more difficult to
make than the body. After being nodded
the heads are placed in an oven and baked
for twenty-seyen hours. They are then
rubbed with punice stone, polished, and
painted with the greatest care. The eyes
are made as carefully as are human arti-
fetal eyes, and the hair is wool from wild
goats in the mountains of Thibet. To
finish one of these dolls the labor of thirty
different persons is required
Connected with every large r1anufac-
tory ere dressmakers, milliners and shoe
makers, who work at their own homes.
One manufacturer displays over 300 diff.
ferent costumes every year. There are
toilets for every conceivable occasion, in
Guiding marriages and balls, and all the
fashions OF the day are scrupulously re-
prcduced.-Youth's Companion.

Attorneys for the Condemned Men Present
Their View of the Case to the Supreme
Court. Z. .
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The proceed
ings in the supreme court in the anar-
chist appeal were. solemn. All the judges
paid close attention to the arguments
Of counsel, q and several times. in
terrupted them to ask questions. Mr.,
fuckers address was a surprise to
to many. Mr.. Tucker was followed by
Attorney General Hunt in behalf of the
state of Illinois,. He made clear,
calm and forcible argument, dealing only
with the cold, abstract propositions of
law involved in the case. He viii con-
clude his argument and will probably be
followed by Judge Grinnell, who will
speak for an hour, leaving it for Gen.
Butler to present the closing argument.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-When the
United States supreme court assembled
at noon, Attorney General Hunt, of I1l.
nois, said that as he had practically con-
c1uded his argument, he would not speak
further, but would allow his associate,
Mr. Grinnen, to continue the argument
in opposition to the motion for writ of
error. After speaking about forty min
utes, Mr.. Grinnen closed and Gen Butler
rose and objected to parts of Mr.. Grin
nell's argument. Gen. Butler closed his
argument at 2:45, and with it argument
in the anarchist appeal for writ of error
ended. The court called up the next
case on the docket and the crowd In the
court room at once dispersed.

sword-Isearer and His FolIowers Disap-
pear From Under the sIilitia's Thumb.
Billings, q M. IT,, Nov. 3.-After
watching Sword-Bearer and his 200 fol-
lowers for three weeks, the military has
allowed them to make their escape for
parts unknown. They are supposed to
have come toward this place, and consid-
cradle uneasiness is felt here for the
safety of the people along the Yellow
stone and also at Junction City.
The actions of the defiant Indians
about confirm the belief that
all is not right. 1t is noticed that all are
we'll armed, and can make a long strug-
gle. Many stockmen, who have cattle on
the reservation, are sending out men for
their protection Just now they are fat,
and many will surely be killed by the
turbulent reds. The citizens here are
greatly incensed to think that the In
diars were allowed to escape to make
trouble, when they might have been cap
tured. 49,
Z News has reached here that 100 Nez
Perces have arrived ON the Crow reserva-
ton. They say they came to- trade
with the Crows, but as their nature Is
well known by the settlers, many think
their coming means no good. Fears as
to the safety of settlers increases as time
advances, and there is some talk of or
ganizing a minute company, to be on
hand in case of emergency. it is need
less to say that the people have good
cause for the fears entertained. ------

A Decision by the Interstate Com
missioncrs Prohibits Their Sale. T..
WAsHINGToN, Nov. "a decision has
been rendered by the interstate commits
sioners in the case of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company for selling land explor-
ers' tickets at about one-haf of the reg
ular rate for round-trip tickets. These
explorers and settlers are carried on the
regular trains. The commission decides
that the interstate commerce law does
not permit the sale of tickets to any class
of people at rates different from those
established for the general public.
The fact. that it is very I desirable
for the defendant o, to make sale of
its lands is not reason for discriminat-
ing in favor of explorers or settlers, The
same reason would apply In case COM
pany should desire to stimulate its freight
traffic or any other branch Of its business
by the use of reduced rates or free trans
portation to customers. That the claim
that the settlement of the western terri
tories should be promoted by special
facilities of transportation to emil
grants, is claim proper to be addressed
to the legislative body, but not for con-
sideration in Interpreting in the present
statute. The Northern Pacific Railroad
company is, therefore, notified to desist
from selling said classes of tickets at
rates less than the regular rates charged
to the public. 40. 10 -..'' 81 -"

out Of the bag at last The Northern
Pacific, Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic,
Michigan Central, and New York Cen
trail s. Hudson River railroads have
formed an alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, and will constitute new through
line from the Pacific TO the Atlantic as
soon as the Duluth, South Shore & At
lantic railway extension is eomp-sted,
which viii be about Jan. l. Two other
railroads are interested in this arrange
ment. The Canadian Pacific is building
a branch line TO Sault Ste. Marie, which
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic has
already reached by similar line. An
International bridge, costing $3.50, 900, is
now well under way and will span the
rapids of the Ste Marie before Christ
mas. The Canadian Pacific will take a
portion of the western grain and produce
to Montreal for shipment "a : to
Europe. The Milwaukee Northern
will be extended to junction with the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic, after
which the Milwaukee g Northern will
Ontonagon, using the South Shore lines
track between Republic and Dogberry.
BY this arrangement the Milwaukee &
Northern gets Lake Superior terminus
at Ontonagon and the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic gets a direct line to
Milwaukee and Chicago. The arrange
ment is mutually beneficial and there
fore likely to last. All this consolida-
ton and pooling of interests bodies Nc
good to the Chicago & Northwestern
railway, which for years has had almost
q monopoly of the freight between the
upper peninsula of Michigan and the rest
of the country. This year the Chicago s.
Northwestern has extended it's Menomi-
nee River line from Iron River to the Go
gebic range, where it connects with the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western, q
friendly line, which has Ashland as its
northern terminus. The Chicago &
Northwestern is now building from Ish-
peming to Republic and Michigamme,
and will probably build to Houghton,
the leading town of the copper region,
next year. ..i ''.. e..
There can be no doubt that the Chicago
q Northwestern would like to secure a
firm n6i1 % % the the iron mining industry of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
The men who purchased the Minnesota
Iron company's mines for $S,000,000 a
few months ago are all more or less iden-
titled with the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company. The Northwestern is
playing for a great stake and the game
will bewen played, too. -a@z
The Wisconsin Midland is the title
assumed by the proposed line of railroad
from Fond du Lac, Wis, to L'Anse
on lake Superior. The road will be built
if the money can be raised. The Duluth,
South Shore &, Atlantic is building d
branch line from L'Anse to Dogwood on
the extension and L'Anse will become q
shipping point for iron ore from the Mar
quette and Gogebic iron ranges.

PITTsBURG, Penn, Nov. 8.-Concern-
ing the great shutdown movement of the
oil producers, which has gone into effect,
the Oil City Derrick of Tuesday says:
The most important deal ever consum-

These contracts are said to contemplate
a shutting off of one-haf the production

ranks and began climbing upon the
porch. Mr.. Davis, whose 70 years have
left him in a very feeble state, made des-
perate efforts to shake hands over the

could reach. Strong men held the pale,
thin hands to their lips and washed them
with tears. Long-haired, unkempt old
fellows crawled right upon the shoulders
of the men in front of them and piled
over their heads regardless of everything
but the one purpose of touching the hand
